Canadian small business owners prioritize economic issues in federal elections, according to Daryl Ching of Vistance Capital Advisory. "The economy is the top priority," he affirms. Key concerns include tax cuts, business cost reductions, and interprovincial trade barriers. The Conservatives propose aggressive tax cuts and deregulation, while Liberals offer a $6.5 billion support program. Ching highlights a split in preference, noting shared development goals between parties and enhanced global trade relations as crucial for small businesses.
